Fantastic dog friendly accommodation
By Mrs Willmot on 25-Feb-2025Fantastic dog friendly accommodation on the doorstep to Dartmoor.
Highly recommended
By Mrs Koch on 30-Jun-2024I can only highly recommend this cottage. It is absolutely comfortable with a lots of beautiful and thoughtful touches (like fresh flowers and lights turned on as we arrived as well as a welcome package) but also extremely clean. We loved to stay here in this beautiful and calm surrounding. Devon with Dartmoor Nationalpark is really special and Dittisham is the best option to explore this area! Yes, the roads are very narrow as some here already mentioned, but it's all worth it!
Always lovely
By Mrs Shipway on 30-May-2024This was our third visit to Holywell Farm and our second stay in Dittisham. Last time was in 2019 and the accommodation is still as lovely as it was five years ago. This was our first visit in the spring and the gardens and surrounding countryside were full of wild flowers and bursting with bird song. The walks within a stones throw of the barn are just breathtaking and the local pub, The Walkhampton Inn, serves lovely food and very potent cider! The owners are just lovely too, very friendly and accommodating. I’m sure we will be back to savour the delights of this wonderful part of Devon again.
Absolutely fantastic
